$150 here, a $150 there, who cares it is just money. If you did not pay any additional fees, I agree you made a good deal.
 
Do you also have a subprime mortgage?
 
Enjoy you car.

Please post your deal in terms of $ under the invoice price.
                 
07 CX-9 $0 under invoice. At invoice.
                 
08 CX-9 $1487 under invoice. The new standard for this car is around $1K under invoice. Watch out for the extra fees!
            
Includes rebates (If there are any).
           
Paying extra fees (Doc Fee, etc...) are still having an impact on these deals.
               
Keep posting those good deals.

Seloo - there are always going to be fees whether you see them in a line item or not. Profit is a fee. If you bump up the invoice $150 and remove the LA fee - now you got a better deal? or better yet, raise invoice $200 and get the car $25 below invoice - now you got a great deal
 
I agree that you should try and get most if not all fees removed, but it's not a deal breaker if you get a good price on the car (in the buyer's opinion) and still pay a small fee. if you can't afford the $150 fee, you should not be buying a $40k car.

Your point is valid, playing with the numbers is just part of the game.
 
The problem is that the dealerships are making up new names for these fees faster than the consumer can keep up with them. I know that the dealer has to make a buck, but at least they can be honest about it!
 
Between the Prep Fee, Doc Fee, and the whatever fee, these fees can add $500 to $1000 to the price of a car and turn a sweet deal into a sour one.
 
Good Luck to all & watch out for the fees!

The Destination charge is the one I'd like to see removed, but that seems nearly impossible to do.

Funny...anyway, since I got the car $1000 below invoice ($850 if you want to include the $150) I felt okay with the deal. Another issue is if all the dealers in the So Cal area are charging the same fee, there is no way around it...unless I sit there and argue for 5 hours...opportinity cost comes into play.
 
By the way, I have a 30 year fixed rate mortgage...thanks for caring!

At the end of the day... it's all about being happy when you leave the dealership... or it could just be that ignorance is bliss!
 
Heck for all we know... the 40K CX-9 (fully loaded) may in fact cost about 18K to produce and the manufacturer will "sell" to the dealer for 20K... and we all see the invoice at 36K. It's all relative - it's not like we insist on seeing the "accounting books" on how much value/money they had in the vehicle they are trying to sell you.
 
Edmunds TMV, Consumer Reports Bottom Line Price, etc., etc., there's always a "profit" in the numbers.
 
seloo - it would be nice if we could just get full honest disclosure on what we are paying for. Heck, if they were 100% honest and clear about what they are charging me, I may be more susceptible to paying for a fee it was truly legit.

What would be a good price for a 2007 CX9 touring AWD? This will be my first car purchase on my own. I've read other posts that say a price around invoice is good.

Pricing for GT AWD by ceric

I am in the market for a CX-9 GT AWD.
I found three dealers in SF Bay Area that offered me invoice minus $500. This was after two e-mail exchange (not much negotiation). In general, I found that there are more FWD models available on their lots. They may be even more willing to negotiate but I am not sure by how much you can get.
Just for your information.

For a 2007 model, you should aim for at least $2k under invoice since the 2008 models have been out for several months now and dealers are clearing the 2007 models out of their lots.
 
Now if you meant to say a 2008 model, it seems you might get a few hundred dollars below invoice. I was quoted invoice without really haggling on a 2008 model, so if they get desperate I'm sure they'll go lower.
